Homebuyers Find Bargains in Four States’ Housing Markets

It’s not every day that we see this: in Colorado—as well as Hawaii, Florida, and Arizona—more than 10% of homes on the market are now listed for less than their owners originally paid. Nationally, that figure stands at 7%. This reflects a perfect storm of softer demand, higher borrowing costs, and greater inventory, all reshaping how homes are priced. After 26 years helping families buy and sell in Boulder, one thing I’ve learned is that every market shift brings both challenges and opportunities. My approach has always been to listen first, then tailor a strategy that puts your interests at the center. Whether you’re navigating a relocation or weighing your options in a changing market, understanding these trends is the first step to making smart, confident decisions.
